In all honesty, how can you expect others to respect you, if you don't respect yourself?
As a woman it is extremely important to know your worth and what you deserve. I was lucky enough to grow up with a mother who made it known to me every day how special I was and she made sure I respected myself no matter what. Self respect is something most people deal with on a daily basis. It is not like you can gain self respect once and just automatically have it forever. Once you start respecting yourself, people will have no choice but to respect you and treat you the way you deserve to be treated.
I know what you are thinking. "Why would you listen to me?", "What does this have to do with beauty?" Well, I study psychology and I am on my way to becoming a therapist that specializes in couples. I believe that self respect plays a part in everyone's personal relationships, whether that be romantic relationships, friendships, and even relationships among family members. Also, self respect can go hand in hand with beauty. Women must not feel that they need to wear a ton of makeup to look or feel beautiful. That is my main goal for this blog, to help women realize they are beautiful and do not need tons of makeup to make them feel that way.
So back to self respect in terms of relationships. If you want your significant other to really respect you and your needs, then you must respect you and your needs first.
It is really important for a woman to know what she does and doesn't deserve and stick with it. No matter who you are dealing with, make sure you respect yourself and make sure people know you do. Sometimes it might not be the easiest thing to do, but it is very important! Always respect yourself!
I am thinking of doing Real Talk as a post once a week about different topics. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any topics.
